HIV-positive Charlie Sheen opens up about sex life and admits: ‘Right now I couldn’t get laid in a women’s prison’
Actor went public about his battle with the disease last year and is now promoting safe sex
HIV-positive Charlie Sheen has opened up about his sex life, admitting: “I couldn’t get laid in a women’s prison.”
The actor, 50, confessed he has found it difficult to bag a date since going public with his diagnosis last November.
He said: “Right now, I couldn’t get laid in a women’s prison with a handful of condoms.
“It doesn’t give me a great opening line: ‘Hey, I’ve got HIV - busy later?’
“It is what it is, and I don’t want to make light of it, but it changes the whole approach on it, because it’s no longer about my interests and my folly, it’s about the other person, it’s about protecting them and just being open and responsible.”
Charlie, who’s string of Hollywood exes include Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, gave the frank account while in London to promote his new job as the face of revolutionary condom Lelo Hex, which uses a hexagonal structure in the latex to prevent breakage and slippage.
He said he has now turned his focus to being a good father.

Charlie added: “I’m not dating. I’m spending a lot of time with my family and children.
“I’m a chauffeur, I’m an Uber driver. I deliver them in the morning to school and I pick them up afterwards.
“I like to believe I’m leaving every situation I encountered better than I found it and they’re thrilled to have me in their life.”
Charlie has two sons with 38-year-old Brooke, and two girls with 45-year-old Denise.
He was due to face them in court in a Los Angeles court earlier this week after he attempted to cut their child support payments from £38,000 to just over £7,000, claiming he could no longer afford them after losing his Two and a Half Men role.
Trial dates had been scheduled for June 7, 8 and 15, but have reportedly been postponed.
But the star said acting offers were starting to roll in seven months on since he revealed he was HIV positive during an interview with NBC’s Today Show.
He said: “The worm is turning. There is, as we speak, corporate interest from people that make those decisions to put me back on television or in
film roles that I think I’ve earned the right to portray.”
